1-1.2 GB output for a 2 hour source is reasonably small for SD material. Paste an encode log so that we can make observations and possibly suggestions.

@arcuser That is a wholly separate issue.

Setting the fallback of the AC3 track to the AAC track creates an explicit association between the two tracks, i.e. "these are interchangeable". See if that helps.

For 1080p, between RF 20-24 is probably best for most people. If you have a really, really large display and/or a very keen eye, can even go one or two lower than that (file sizes will get larger).

Adding the number seems fine, as long as it doesn't make a preset like "mypreset hq 1080" become "mypreset hq 1081". :P Was going to test this but my build is failing tonight. Long-term I'd probably rather see a prompt, "A preset named 'foo' already exists. Overwrite it?&quo...

Some errors in the log.

ERROR: avformatMux: track 1, av_interleaved_write_frame failed with error 'Error number -1 occurred'

The amount of gain you wish to apply depends on the source volume. If the source is already pretty loud, a gain of 10 will be way too much. You should adjust gain for each encode (or perhaps use a very small amount). DCR is another thing entirely. This is similar to the "compression" or &q...

Reproducing the duplicate preset issue:

1. Open Source
2. Select Normal preset
3. Save preset with name "foo"
4. Select Normal preset
5. Save preset with name "foo"

Please provide an activity log. Directions are near the top of this page.

AviSynth is a standalone application. avconv is a standalone application that only runs on the command line (no graphical interface). It's complicated if you aren't familiar with command line interfaces. Since neither of applications are related to HandBrake, you should ask them for help via their s...

Missed the libtool issue. Either should work, so long as you don't mix system tools and local pkg-config or vice versa. Since you've already installed most of the deps, John's suggestion to install libtool is the better one here.

My understanding was that the gain issue displayed in the audio list after reloading the defaults. @mod16, can you verify the defaults have gain set to 0, but it's -20 in the audio list tab?

@JohnAStebbins I'll get you steps to reproduce the dup preset issue.

I can reproduce the duplicate preset issue. I cannot reproduce the gain issue. Can you give explicit steps to reproduce the latter?

I second @mduell's suggestion, but after asking the libav developers I have an alternative that can do it in one go. If you're comfortable using the command line, avconv (libav) can do this on the fly with the setpts filter . Note this example: # Fixed rate 25 fps setpts=N/(25*TB) Set up the filter ...

Possibly the coolest idea I've seen on this forum since 2007 or so.

Expanding chapter import/export to include times/durations is a good idea. Unfortunately, it requires some fairly major work to implement "under the hood". So while we aren't ignoring or rejecting this request, it's difficult and at the moment, low priority.

Try running configure with --enable-local-autotools (which includes --enable-local-pkgconfig).

You need to drag the mounted image to the Trash to eject it. This essentially undoes what happens when you click on the DMG. Then drag the DMG you downloaded to the Trash.

Scratch that, naturally I tried the file marked *working*. The non-working file is indeed non-working.

Works fine on Mac GUI nightly regardless of minimum title length setting.

I believe this is fixed in the nightly, will need Ritsuka to verify which commit and whether it can be backported to the patch release branch.

If it isn't fixed in the nightly, a sample or two would help. Can upload to Dropbox or similar.

Would you mind giving the nightly build a try, to see whether this is already fixed? https://handbrake.fr/nightly.php
